Stock images of employees

Hello, 

 

I am looking for stock images of employees, wearing branded uniforms. (e.g. an image of a Starbuck employee wearing the starbucks apron, or an image of a McDonalds employee wearing something with a mcdonalds logo). I haven't been able to find this on Adobe Stock, and I was wondering if Adobe has any such photos, or if there is a restriction that prevents these images from being available? Thank you for any help or suggestions!

You won't find this type of branding on the Adobe Stock site. If you want to use images like this you would need to contact those companies and obtain permission from them.

I once needed branded pictures like this for a customer, the brand owner, but for different reasons, especially timing, they did not wanted to get involved in huge shooting sessions. I edited their brand into the pictures. I would, however, never suggest this for someone who is not the brand owner, or a licence holder of that brand. 

 

Pictures in stock databases are always cured for IP violations, and that means that you won't find any branded products, except for the restrictive editorial use. This is a feature, not a bug.

Those 2 companies that you cited are very protective of their trademarks, so you're unlikely to get permission to use their IP.
